Shelves are unsafe

I have decided that the new configuration of shelves in the Reference area is unsafe for shelving books. This is due to books falling on me as I was putting them on the shelves. There were some bolts that were not put in and there is a need for putting on braces across the tops of the shelves. Scott is going to get the PSI guys to come back and fix the shelves. Until then, we will have to live with the reference material on the carts.

Don't want to dig through the carts

The paratext database we have a trial to at: http://pubdocs.odyssi.com/. In advanced search you can choose to search only the title or subject indexes. Remember the title index has SuDoc numbers, whereas the subject index only has citations to the monthly catalog.
